James Holt

James Holt has been a member of Highland Park since October 1981. During his time here the Lord has led him to serve in various ministries within the church. The latest opportunity has been to serve the Lord and His church as an elder. God has richly blessed the Highland Park family with faithful elders to lead and give Biblical direction. James considers it a great blessing to minister alongside these men, his fellow brothers and servants of the church.

Paul McNeall

Paul McNeall has been a part of Highland Park since 1981. He met his wife Doyleen here and was married in 1985. They have two grown children, Cameron and Leandra, and two grandsons. Paul has served in many roles in our church over the years, from Chairman of the Deacons to a Sunday School teacher, and now an elder (2013). One of his favorite things about Highland Park is that it is a place where individuals and families can truly connect with brothers and sisters in Christ for fellowship and support in their Christian walk. Paul is also encouraged that at every level, Highland Park stands by the authority of God's Word. This includes our strong missions focus as we carry out the Great Commission. Paul currently works for Phillips 66 as an Accounting Advisor.
